The Hermite polynomials are ubiquitous but can be difficult to work with due to their unwieldy definition in terms of derivatives. To remedy this, we showcase an underappreciated Gaussian integral formula for the Hermite polynomials, which…
We provide a representation in terms of certain canonical functions for a sequence of polynomials orthogonal with respect to a weight that is strictly positive and analytic on the unit circle. These formulas yield a complete asymptotic…
We establish best possible pointwise (up to a constant multiple) estimates for approximation, on a finite interval, by polynomials that satisfy finitely many (Hermite) interpolation conditions, and show that these estimates cannot be…
We investigate asymptotic behavior of polynomials $ Q_n(z) $ satisfying non-Hermitian orthogonality relations $$ \int_\Delta s^kQ_n(s)\rho(s)ds =0, \quad k\in\{0,\ldots,n-1\}, $$ where $ \Delta $ is a Chebotar\"ev (minimal capacity) contour…

Schroedinger's equation with the attractive potential V(r) = -Z/(r^q+ b^q)^(1/q), Z > 0, b > 0, q >= 1, is shown, for general values of the parameters Z and b, to be reducible to the confluent Heun equation in the case q=1, and to the…
We analyze the long-time asymptotics for the Degasperis--Procesi equation on the half-line. By applying nonlinear steepest descent techniques to an associated $3 \times 3$-matrix valued Riemann--Hilbert problem, we find an explicit formula…
We analyze the Hermite polynomials $H_{n}(\xi)$ and their zeros asymptotically as $n\to\infty,$ using the limit relation between the Charlier and Hermite polynomials. Our formulas involve some special functions and they yield very accurate…

This is a review of the Riemann-Hilbert approach to the large $N$ asymptotics in random matrix models and its applications. We discuss the following topics: random matrix models and orthogonal polynomials, the Riemann-Hilbert approach to…
Asymptotic approximations to the zeros of Hermite and Laguerre polynomials are given, together with methods for obtaining the coefficients in the expansions. These approximations can be used as a standalone method of computation of Gaussian…
The classical orthogonal polynomials (Hermite, Laguerre and Jacobi) are involved in a vast number of applications in physics and engineering. When large degrees $n$ are needed, the use of recursion to compute the polynomials is not a good…

We examine the asymptotic expansion of the Touchard polynomials $T_n(z)$ (also known as the exponential polynomials) for large $n$ and complex values of the variable $z$. In our treatment $|z|$ may be finite or allowed to be large like…
The use of approximants of Pad\`e type are employed to develop a method aimed at opening new perspectives in the theory of Appell polynomials $a_n(x)$, specified by the generating function \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{t^n}{n!} a_n(x) = A(t)…
